Description Stéphane Bisinger 2005-11-11 06:22:29 UTC

The Gentoo Linux PowerPC FAQ does not validate with Mozilla Firefox:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-ppc-faq.xml?passthru=1
Line Number 778, Column 9:    &lt;&nbsp;&gt;   PowerMac DMA sound support

&nbsp; entity is not present in the DTD, so it should either be added to the
DTD, or removed from the document itself.

Yes, it is. FYI, files are checked at commit time and rejected if invalid.
In other words, the file *is* valid.

What happens is that
1) you have been unlucky and have hit the web node that tells your browser that
the file is text/xml
2) firefox decided to show you the xml tree, but does not know where to get the DTD

Use "view source (Ctrl+U)", wget, curl, grab a docs snapshot, or anything else,
or try again, with some luck, you'll hit a web node that sends the file as
text/plain
